The snow is amorous, and the people are quiet.

Where the cold dew looks at each other silently, the residual lights are extinguished and only a lonely shadow.

This year's winter came just as early as last year, as if the snow was deliberately left behind, and it fell intermittently for a whole month.

Today, the sky finally cleared up and there was some warmth.

In the end, I still didn't let Zhuangzi severely punish Empress Wu Xue. It was only after three years of grounding her that she returned to normal.

What will happen in three years, I don't know.

I only know that after today, Jiayu City and I will have nothing to do with it.

After packing up my baggage, I slowly walked out of the palace and turned around to look at this gorgeous palace. In the future, it may become a cold palace again, and perhaps, it will move in newcomers.

Because of my different identities now, if I want to leave, I naturally have to go quietly, otherwise, how could the Queen Mother let me go!

I still decided to go to Qingzhang Palace to say goodbye to Zhuangzi, although I left with the jade dragon carving jade again, but I didn't want to say goodbye like I used to. On the way, I kept asking myself where and where I should go when I left the palace, where would I have a place to live.

Today's Chengyang Hall is a little different from the past, the door of the palace is closed, and there are many Praetorian Guards outside the hall.

Looking at this situation, it is basically when the emperor and the minister discuss state affairs. I didn't want to disturb anyone, so I stood quietly in the apse and waited.

I don't know how long I stood before I heard the sound of the guards talking outside the hall, and I couldn't hear what they were saying because of the whisper.

As time went by, I started to feel tired. Fortunately, I sat on a wooden bench and closed my eyes to recuperate, and let myself rest for a while.

I didn't open my eyes until I felt like something was covering me. Zhuangzi's frowning and tense face came directly into my eyes. Hurriedly getting up, the dragon robe slipped off me, and I was about to bend down to pick it up, but Zhuangzi grabbed ahead of me.

Dressed me in a dragon robe that symbolized his identity, he said softly: "It's cold, don't catch a cold." Your body is not very good, and your physique is weak and cold, so you should pay more attention in winter. His words were warm and touched my heart slightly.

I looked at him, but I forgot to speak.

He glanced at the burden I had put aside, then looked back at me, "You... Going? ”

I bowed my head, "I should have left, but the snow kept falling, and now it's finally stopped." ”

"I hope the snow never stops." He muttered, his voice a little bleak.

I looked at him silently, forced a laugh, and called out "Zhuangzi!" ”

He was stunned and a little helpless, his lips kept trembling, I knew he had something to say, but after he sighed heavily, he couldn't say it.

I took the jade dragon carved jade out of my clothes and placed it lightly in the palm of his hand, "I've always wanted to find a chance to return it to you, but I always forget it every time." The jade dragon carved jade is not worn by a woman like me, I think it is better to return it to its original owner. ”

His body was stunned, but he put the jade pendant in my hand, "Since I once gave it to you, I won't take it back." After speaking, he turned around and walked to the window, looking out the window, and his words sounded again, "That year, it was such a weather, you saved me." With a wave of your fingers, it was already five years ago. ”

My eyes also looked out the window, five years, not long, not short. Zhuangzi and I have known each other for five years.

"Song Liu," he called me back, "If you really want to leave, I won't stop you." Because your speed is more important than anything else. However, after agreeing to my request, I will leave. ”

My eyes fell on him, and I looked at him for a long time, and I didn't know if I was enchanted or I couldn't bear to disappoint him, so I actually nodded.

"In the whole world, the strength of Min and China is the strongest, so it can be said that they are evenly divided. But my wish is to unify the world. Can you stay with me for three years, as long as three years. Three years later, after I unify the world, if you still feel that I can't give you the life you want, at that time, if you want to leave, I will willingly let you go. His warm voice came to my ears, and it was warm.

I was stunned, he wants to unify the world, this does not mean that he will compete with Liuyun for the world.

It also means that one of the two of them will fail. Either way, it's something I don't want to see. At the beginning, I dragged my pregnant self to Zhuangzi's side, wasn't it because I was afraid that the two countries would meet each other in arms?

Is it still unavoidable?

"Zhuangzi, if it is peaceful today, why can't you share the world equally with Min. Once the two countries go to war, it is the people who suffer. I pursed my lips slightly, but my voice was flustered.

He smiled, in my opinion, that smile had a different meaning, and after a pause, he said: "It is for the sake of the common people in the world that we must be unified." Moreover, the Min State is already preparing for war and will attack our country at any time. I can't, sit still. Therefore, this war for the world is unavoidable. ”

Suddenly, my heart skipped a few beats, I couldn't believe what I heard, Liuyun, is he ready to fight for the world?

"So, I want you to be by my side on my journey, as long as you are by my side, I have confidence." His firm opening made me feel a sense of fear, he had the confidence to conquer the world, so what about Liuyun? What will happen?

I didn't say anything, but I didn't know what to say.

"Don't you want to?" He added, "It's only three years, three years." ”

I looked at him suddenly, the dark tide in my heart was surging, and a bad premonition spread to my whole body, making me tremble.

His eyes flashed, and he hurried up to me, "What's wrong with you?" Uncomfortable? ”

I shook my head slightly, raised my eyes and looked at him seriously, "If you really want to fight this battle, what are your chances of winning?" ”

He smiled, "It turns out that you are worried about this, since you want to fight, I am naturally confident." I also firmly believe that I will win. Although the strength of the Min Kingdom is strong, you can rest assured that I have already won over the surrounding small countries and will attack the Min Kingdom together. At that time, Rong Chenxuan must have been a dead end. ”

My body suddenly began to soften, I retreated in a daze, Zhuangzi frowned at me, and said unbearably: "I know, after all, you are from Minguo, and Rong Chenxuan is the king of your Minguo after all." Now that I say that, you're going to be scared. However, the world must be unified, and if it is not me, others will do the same. ”

I'm not afraid, nor am I from Minguo.

What I'm afraid of is that I'm going to lose the clouds. I'm afraid that after that kind of loss, I will never see him again.

Even though we're separated now, at least I know what he's doing.

How could I allow someone else to threaten his life.

I can't put it down! It turned out that he couldn't let him go at all.

Yes, according to Zhuangzi's insistence, this war is inevitable.

Zhuangzi has the help of other small countries, so what about Liuyun? Whose help does he need?

"Song Liu..."Zhuangzi recalled my mind to go far, and in an instant, in my heart, I had an idea. If I stay with Zhuangzi, I will master Zhuangzi's battle plan. This may not be a bad thing for Liuyun.

If it really gets to the point where there is no turning back, I can still protect Liuyun. At least for now, I have an important place in Zhuangzi's heart.

Both Liuyun and Zhuangzi share the same ambition, which is to unify the world. I know this better than anyone else. Sooner or later, they will fight to the death, but I don't want to admit it," Song Liu... You—" He pursed his lips again, with a hint of anticipation.

My gaze stayed on his face, and suddenly, it was as if I saw a flowing cloud.

"I promise you, I will accompany you for three years..."Without hesitation, I replied.

He was taken aback, and then smiled with satisfaction, "Did you really promise to stay with me for three years?" Really willing to be a pillar of my spirit? Song Liu..."He stretched out his hand to take me into his arms, "I promise you, I will definitely unify the world within three years, and I will definitely give you the life you want." ”

A sense of guilt rose up, and I didn't break free from his embrace, but let him hold it.

In my heart, I said sorry to him over and over again. I really couldn't put Liuyun in danger, so I agreed to stay with him for three years. Forgive me for my selfishness, forgive me for my use, Zhuangzi, if I had to choose between you and Liuyun, I would choose Liuyun without hesitation.

I really hope that they will be able to live in peace. At least, that's what I hope for in their generation.

In the evening, I returned to the palace, but I looked listless.

When Siyu saw me coming back, she asked eagerly, "Won't the emperor let you go?" ”

I shook my head, and she asked again: "Could it be that the Queen Mother knew about this matter, so she couldn't leave?" ”

I shook my head again, and she became anxious, "What's the matter, you're talking!" ”

"It's my own stay, and I'm going to stay for three years." I spat out this sentence flatly.

Siyu was stunned for a moment, and it took a long time to come to her senses, "Didn't you always want to leave?" Why do you want to stay now? ”

"For the sake of Liuyun, for him, I must stay!" I smiled self-deprecatingly, "Siyu, I'm afraid the world is going to be chaotic, I don't know what the situation will be at that time." ”

"For the sake of Flowing Clouds? What's wrong? Although you have not been able to let him go, yes, why should he stay? Siyu looked at me puzzled, thinking that she didn't know about the affairs between the Min Kingdom and the Yan Kingdom! She is also from Minguo, but she has been staying in Minguo, which side will she stand on? I have already seen that she has affection for Zhuangzi, at that time, will she hate me?

Presumably, she will also be in a dilemma!

"Siyu, do you love Min Country more, or Qi Country?" I asked this sentence stupidly, and after I said it, I regretted it.

Siyu smiled a little embarrassedly, "I am from Minguo, so I naturally love Minguo." However, in the years I have lived in the country, I think the country is also very good. In fact, the two countries naturally have their good side. If you have to say which country you love more, Siyu can only answer, love both! ”

With a bitter smile, I turned and turned back into the dormitory.

With a hint of sadness, with a hint of melancholy.
